My stats suck but Im just starting. I seen a post on how to post screenshots with step by step instructions. Even ice did it. :D

Have a laugh. Now that I can do it I will work on building a sample size.

Most keyboards have a "print screen" button next to the F1-F12 buttons. Open up PT to the window you want to capture, push the "print screen" button, then open up windows paint (Start | Programs | Accessories | Paint). Go to the top menu in Paint and scroll to "Edit | Paste". Your screenshot should show up in Paint now. Then you can adjust the size or add/delete from the image. Finally, save the file, but make sure you select JPG as the filetype to save as (not BMP which makes HUGE files).

If you press and hold the ALT key then press the PrntScrn key, it will capture the open window only.

Edit: I bet the problem is because you are using photobucket as your host.
Who is your internet service provider,
and do they offer you space for you own home page?
If so, your image will be exactly as you upload it.
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

JimmyJohn, you have a point there.

I love the program Irfanview for cropping images.

Edit: No, I was not the redneck that deleted the post.

They ought to make a law that if you are over 40 and don't have children who are computer literate, then it is a felony for you to own a computer....lol.
